I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Also Tim and neighbor lady doesn't bother me that much. All my boyfriends were out of HS by the time I was 15 or 16. I have to say, the teenage girls, in particular Julie and Lyla, have awesome teenage girl dialogue. Julie's "I might as well stick needles in my eyes!" had me cracking up, and Lyla's drunken fight with Jason is something I probably saw a billion times between me and my girlfriends. Also also? Tyra's mom falling through the coffee table with actual!consequences from the glass? LOVED! That never happens on tv.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Cool - the story has bribery and corrupt officials and black-markets and piracy and voodoo priests....

eta: Oh, and it had hiding from evil stevedores!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oooh, today's free lunch is sushi. Love it when that happens.

This is another recent picture of Saturn I really liked, it's backlit.

Earth is in it too, but it isn't easy to spot.

eta: And yeah, Earth is so tiny!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Shit I didn't say --

Motherfucker, we had the EXACT SAME CONVERSATION about getting me an assistant six months ago. And then I went and got a grant for half of the salary, and you want to hire some graduate student for half time and "ask for some money" for an assistant for me. YOU SAID THAT BEFORE AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED. Stop fucking around and handle MY business.

Okay we've been waiting for this one - right?

The Riches," 10 p.m. Mondays starting March 12, FX. I'm going to go out on a limb and call this spring's most promising new series: A Gypsy Traveler family on the run from their clan literally crash into the con of a lifetime, enabling them to steal the lives and identities of a rich family starting over in a subdivision where nobody knows who they are. Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver (barely recognizable when we first see her) head the cast, and the performances in the pilot are outstanding.

I started reading b.org after Julie linked me to one of shrift's posts.

Does that mean I get half a toaster?
